Shifting positions: Trump administration officials continued to reverse or revise the government’s stance on multiple fronts, including active Supreme Court cases, Jan. 6 prosecutions, school book bans, foreign aid programs and gender definitions. Mr. Trump also reinstated a Republican anti-abortion policy known as the “Mexico City Rule.”

In the first official trip of his second term, Trump also threatened to withhold disaster aid to California unless the state enacts a voter ID law.

After landing in Asheville, Trump reiterated his frequent critique of the federal hurricane response: FEMA “has really let us down, let the country down,” he said, per NPR’s Asma Khalid and Deepa Shivaram.
